We would like to remind all students that the buying, selling, trading, or exchanging of items for money is not permitted on campus at any time.

Students should never exchange money for items while at school. This includes selling snacks, drinks, candy, personal belongings, collectibles, electronics, clothing, or any other items. Unauthorized sales and purchases create distractions to learning, can lead to conflicts between students, and may raise concerns about the source or ownership of items.

Additionally, students who bring large amounts of cash to school may become targets for theft or other issues. For the safety of all students, money should only be brought to school when specifically requested for an approved school activity.

Please remember that students are responsible for any personal items they choose to bring to campus. The school cannot guarantee the security of personal belongings that are brought from home.

Our expectation is simple:

• No buying. No selling. No exchanging money for items.

We appreciate your partnership in helping us maintain a safe, focused, and positive learning environment for all students.

YEARBOOKS ARE SOLD OUT! THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL BOOKS FOR SALE.

Pre-purchased yearbooks will be distributed the week of June 8th!

Please be sure to review the bell schedule for the last week of school. Note that students with an unscheduled 6th period will need to be in class until 3:10pm on Monday 6/8 for final exams. We will be on a block schedule Monday 6/8 and Tuesday 6/9.

8th Grade Parents,

Please review the flyer below containing important information about CVUSD issued Chromebook and charger returns.

• ALL GRADE 8 STUDENTS MUST RETURN THEIR DEVICE AND CHARGER IN WORKING CONDITION. If you have lost/damaged your device please see our tech services department regarding payment due in order to clear your account.
• Students may not walk in the promotion ceremony until all payment has been completed or devices have been returned.

Beginning in the 2026-2027 school year, students will no longer be permitted to use personal devices, such as student-owned laptops and ipads, on campus. All students will continue to have access to district-issued chromebooks and classroom-based devices to support learning both at school and at home. This update is intended to create a more safeguarded and consistent learning environment for all students.

Moving away from student "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) for school instruction will help us:

• Improve online safety and strengthen cybersecurity protections for student accounts and data.
• Provide a more consistent classroom experience and reduce time spent troubleshooting different personal devices.
• Support classroom focus by reducing distractions from personal apps, games, and notifications.
• Improve network reliability and performance across school campuses.
• Allow teachers and schools to better support students using district-managed tools and systems.
  

We appreciate your partnership and support as we implement this transition. Additional details and guidance will be shared before the start of the school year.
